The title says it all, if you could pick any football player ever and put him in a Pats uniform who would it be?

A few I would love to see:Barry SandersJim BrownWalter PaytonLawrence TaylorDick Butkus

but in the end I landed on Jerry Rice. They guy is the best to ever play the WR position and I doubt you will find anyone that will be able to seriosuly argue that point. Not only was he dominant, he was dominant for almost two decades, playing at a high level at age 40, the only receiver who can say so. Double him, triple him, he always found ways to get open. Can you just imagine Brady throwing it to this guy?

Provided he doesn't play 2 sports again and just concentrates on football only I'm going with Bo Jackson. He was truly a game breaker as a back up. Imagine what he could have done as a full time starter who only played football. He might have gone down as the greatest ever.

Are we talking adding to the current roster? Because I don't think QB can get much better than NE already has.

Historically, I think adding Reggie White would make this team as it is constituted win a couple superbowls easy in the next couple. LT might have that effect too. He changed his position like no other.

But Reggie White was a freak 6'5 300 with speed who changed every game he was in like no other player.

Guys, remember, in football you have THREE teams: offense, defense, and special teams. Perhaps the better question would be to pick one of each ALL TIME.

If I'm starting a team from ground zero, I'd take Jim Brown. On defense I'd probably take LT. Special teams, give me Ray Guy. Nothing says "good chance of winning" like maintaining field position. Having the other guys continually start drives inside their 10 yard line is critical. Guy lived on doing just that.
